CHAPTER 1

1..INTRODUCTION:

Today organizations are all talking in terms of competence. Gone are the days when people used to talk in terms of skill sets, which would make their organizations competitive. There has been a shift in the focus of the organizations. Now they believe in excelling and not competing. It is better to build a core competency that will see them through crisis. And what other way than to develop the people, for human resource is the most valuable resource any organization has.

Organizations of the future will have to rely more on their competent employees than any other resource. It is a major factor that determines the success of an organization. Competencies are the inner tools for motivating employees, directing systems and processes and guiding the business towards common goals that allow the organizations to increase its value. Competencies provide a common language and method that can integrate all the major HR functions and services like Recruitment, Training, performance management, Remuneration, Performance appraisal, Career and succession planning and integrated Human resource management system.

Over the past 10 years, human resource and organizational development professionals have generated a lot of interest in the notion of competencies as a key element and measure of human performance. Competencies are becoming a frequently-used and written-about vehicle for organizational applications such as:

• Defining the factors for success in jobs (i.e., work) and work roles within the organization• Assessing the current performance and future development needs of persons holding jobs and roles• Mapping succession possibilities for employees within the organization• Assigning compensation grades and levels to particular jobs and roles• Selecting applicants for open positions, using competency-based interviewing techniques

Competencies include the collection of success factors necessary for achieving important

results in a specific job or work role in a particular organization. Success factors are combinations of knowledge, skills, and attributes (more historically called “KSA’s”) that are described in terms of specific behaviors, and are demonstrated by superior performers in those jobs or work roles. Attributes include: personal characteristics, traits, motives, values or ways of thinking that impact an individual’s behavior.

1.1 WHAT IS COMPETENCY?

Any underlying characteristic required for performing a given task, activity or role successfully can be considered as competency. Competency may take the following forms:KnowledgeAttitudeSkillOther characteristics of an individual includingMotivesValues TraitsSelf Concept

Competency includes observable behavior as well as aptitudes, skill and knowledge. It can be compared with an iceberg as shown in the figure below:FIGURE: A

DEFINITION:

First popularized by BOYATZIS (1982) with Research result on clusters of competencies:“A capacity that exists in a person that leads to behavior that meets the job demands within parameters of organizational environment, and that, in turn brings about desired results”

UNIDO (2002)-A Competency is a set of skills, related knowledge and attributes that allow an individual to successfully perform a task or an activity within a specific function or job.

RANKIN (2002): “Competencies are definition of skills and behaviors that organizations expect their staff to practice in work.”

MANSFIELD (1997): “Underlying characteristics of a person that results in effective a superior performance.”

WOODRUFFE (1991):

Competency: A person- related concept that refers to the dimensions of behavior lying behind competent performer.Competence: A work- related concept that refers to areas of work at which the person is competent Competencies: Often referred as the combination of the above two.

ALBANESE(1989) : Competencies are personal characteristics that contribute to effective managerial performance.

HAYES(1979) :

Competencies are generic knowledge motive, trait, social role or a skill of a person linked to superior performance on the job .

BEHAVIOUR INDICATOR:

A Competency is described in terms of key behaviors that enable recognition of that competency at the work place. These behaviors are demonstrated by excellent performers on-the-job much more consistently than average or poor performers. These characteristics generally follow the 80-20 rule in that they include the key behaviors that primarily drive excellent performance.

Performance competencies are those that differentiate between high and low performers.

Components of Competency: The competencies are observable or measurable knowledge, skills and

abilities(KSA) These KSA’s must distinguish between superior and other performers.

Competencies in organization tend to fall in two categories General Functioning Competencies. These competencies include broad success factors not tied to a specific work function or industry (often focusing on leadership or emotional intelligence behaviors). Functional/Technical Competencies.These competencies include specific success factors within a given work .

1.2 MEANING AND CONCEPT OF COMPETENCY MAPPING

It is a process of identification of the competencies required to perform successfully a give job or role or a set tasks at a given point of time. It consists of breaking a given role or job into its constituent’s task or activities and identifying the competencies (Technical, managerial, Behavioral, conceptual knowledge and Attitude and skills etc) needed to perform the same successfully.

Competency Map. A competency map is a list of an individual’s competencies that represent the factors most critical to success in given jobs, departments, organizations, or industries that are part of the individual’s current career plan.

6

Competency Mapping. Competency mapping is a process an individual uses to identify and describe competencies that are the most critical to success in a work situation or work role

Competency profiling It is the process of identifying the knowledge, skills, abilities, attitudes, and judgment required for effective performance in a particular occupation or profession. Competency profiling is business/company specific.

STEPS IN COMPETENCY MAPPING:

The Steps involved in competency mapping with an end result of job evaluation include the following:

Step 1 : Identify departments for competency profiling:Step 2: Identifying hierarchy within the organization and selection of levels:Step 3: Obtain the job descriptions:Step 4: Preparation of semi structured interview:Step 5: Recording of interview details:Step 6: Preparation of a list of Skills:.Step 7: Indicate proficiency levels:Step 8: Validate identified competencies and proficiency levels with immediate superiors and other heads of the concerned department:Step9: Preparation of competency dictionary:Step 10: Mapping of competencies

COMPETENCY MODEL:

.The roots of competency modeling date as far back as the early 1900’s but these models have become widely popular these days. A competency model is an organizing framework that lists the competencies required for effective performance in a specific job, job family (e.g., group of related jobs), organization, function, or process. Individual competencies are organized into competency models to enable people in an organization or profession to understand, discuss, and apply the competencies to workforce performance.

7

The competencies in a model may be organized in a variety of formats. No one approach is inherently best; organizational needs will determine the optimal framework. A common approach is to identify several competencies that are essential for all employees and then identify several additional categories of competencies that apply only to specific subgroups. Some competency models are organized according to the type of competency, such as leadership, personal effectiveness, or technical capacity. Other models may employ a framework based on job level, with a basic set of competencies for a given job family and additional competencies added cumulatively for each higher job level within the job family

TRADITIONAL JOB ANALYSIS VS. COMPETENCY APPROACH

Job Analysis leads to long lists of tasks and the skills / knowledge required to perform each of

those tasks. Data generation from subject matter experts; job incumbents .Effective Performance

Competency model leads to A distilled set of underlying personal characteristics.

8

Data generation from outstanding performers in addition to subject matter experts and other job incumbents.

Outstanding Performance

The approach allows executives and managers to make a distinction between a person's ability to do specific tasks at the minimum acceptable level and the ability to do the whole job in an outstanding fashion

USE OF COMPETENCY MAPPINGCompetency mapping serves a number of purposes. It is done for the following functions:

Gap Analysis Role Clarity Selection, Potential Identification, Growth Plans. Succession Planning. Restructuring Inventory of competencies for future planning

Competency based recruitment Competency based interviews reduce the risk of making a costly hiring mistake and increase the likelihood of identifying and selecting the right person for the right job

Competency based Performance Appraisal Competencies Enable

1. Establishment of clear high performance standards.2. Collection and proper analysis of factual data against the set standards.3. Conduct of objective feedback meetings.4. Direction with regard to specific areas of improvement

Competency based training

1. Competency based appraisal process leading to effective identification of training needs.

2. Opportunity to identify/ develop specific training programmes - Focused training investment.

3. Focused Training enabling improvement in specific technical and managerial competencies.

Competency based Development

9

1.) Contribute to the understanding of what development really mean, giving the individual the tools to take responsibility for their own development.2.) Give the line managers a tool to empower them to develop people..

Competency based succession planning Assessing employees’ readiness or potential to take on new challenges. Determining the person job fit can be based on matching the competency profile Of an individual to the set of competencies required for excellence within a profession. Individuals would know the competencies required for a particular position and therefore would have an opportunity to decide if they have the potential to pursue that position.

The effectiveness of the training function is heavily dependent upon effectiveness of processes used to identifying training needs. This is the first critical step on the road to competence development and performance enhancement.

An inadequacy at this stage cascades to all the subsequent training processes.

TRANINING LEADING TO SUCCESSION PLANNING:

DEFINITION:

As a general definition, “Succession Planning” is the process of preparing to hand over control. Specifically, business succession planning is the process of preparing to hand over control of the business to others in a way that is the least disruptive to the business’s operations and value.

Succession planning is traditionally defined as “a means of identifying critical management positions, starting at the level of manager and supervisor and extending up to the highest position in the organization.

Succession planning and management is a deliberate and systematic effort by an organization to ensure the continued long-term effective performance of an organization, division, department or work group by:

Identifying, developing, retaining and replacing talented individuals in positions over time.

Retaining and developing intellectual and knowledge capital for the future Encouraging individual learning, growth and advancement

Source: Roth well, William J., Effective

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

Ensure business continuity Replace future vacancies and meet future skill and talent needs Have the right people in the right places at the right times to do the right things Address skill shortages ahead of time Maximize competitiveness as an employer and ability to attract and retain talented

staff Enhance ability to promote from within Provide a supportive “growth” environment Focus learning and development efforts

SUCCESSION PLANNING is a process whereby an organization ensures that employees are recruited and developed to fill each key role within the company. The succession planning process, develop the knowledge, skills, and abilities of superior employees and prepare them for advancement or promotion into ever more challenging roles.

COMPETENCY BASED SUCCESSION PLANNING AT MMTC.

11

Through the succession planning process, MMTC try to retain superior employees because they appreciate the time, attention, and development that the organization is investing in them. To effectively do succession planning in the organization, one must identify the skills, knowledge and abilities of employees at various levels. After identifying it is mapped by the process called Competency Mapping. In this process the gaps are determined between the existing and required performance of the employees. After identifying the the gaps the superior employees are identified. These are the ones who are further trained for higher job positions.

CHAPTER 2

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE:

2.1 THE ROOTS OF COMPETENCY APPROACH:

Michael Crozier shocked the management community by defining the organization as imperfect social compromises .Far from being scientific constructs he depicted a complex organization as a reflection of its actual degree of competency.

12

Despite a growing interest of competency among mangers and human resource professionals in recent years, the modern competency movement in industrial-organizational psychology actually dates from the mid1950’s and early 1970’s.

In that regard, John Flanagan’s work (1954) and Dave McClelland’s studies (1970) might be cited as two landmark efforts that originally invented the concept of competency. Concept maps were invented by Joseph Novak in the 1960s for use as a teaching tool. Later in 1986 William Trochim developed the concept map into a strategic planning tool for use in the design of organizational components. Trochim's technique differs significantly from Novak's original school of thought. While Novak's maps are generated for an individual, Trochim's are generated by a group.

2.2 HISTORY OF COMPETENCIES:

John Flanagan (1954)

A seminal article published by John Flanagan in 1954 established Critical Incidents Technique as a precursor to the key methodology used in rigorous competency studies. Based on studies of US Air Force pilot performance, Flanagan concluded that “the principle objective of job analysis procedures should be the determination of critical requirements. These requirements include those which have been demonstrated to have made the difference between success and failure in carrying out an important part of the job assigned in a significant number of instances”. From here, critical incidents technique was originally discovered.

Critical incidents itself can be defined as a set of procedures for systematically identifying behaviors that contribute to success or failure of individuals or organizations in specific situations.

Flanagan’s work, while not strictly about competencies, was important because it laid the foundation for a new approach to examining what people do. In a later form, the critical incidents technique would resurface to focus around significant behavioral events that distinguish between exemplary and fully-successful performers.

It is Flanagan’s critical incidents technique that sixteen years later inspires David McClelland to discover and develop the term of “competency”.

Benjamin Bloom (USA)

In mid fifties BENJAMIN laid the foundation for identifying educational objectives by defining KSA, s needed to be developed in education. The educational objectives developed by them were grouped under the cognitive domain.

13

David McClelland (Harvard Psychologist)

He pioneered the Competency Movement across the world and made it a global concept. His classic books on Talent and Society, Achievement motive, The Achieving Society, Motivating economic achievement and power the inner experience brought out several new dimensions of the competency. These competencies exposed by Mc .Cleland dealt with effective domain in Bloom’s terminology.

Richard Boyatzis.

Richard Boyatzis wrote the first empirically-based and fully-researched book on competency model developments. It was with Boyatzis that job competency came to widely understood to mean an underlying characteristic of a person that leads or causes superior or effective performance. Boyatzis was explicit in describing the importance of clearly-defined competency as reflected in specific behavior and clearly defined performance outcomes when he wrote that “the important points is that specific actions cause, or lead to, the specified results. Certain characteristics or abilities of the person enable him or her to demonstrate the appropriate specific actions”(Boyatzis, 1982, p. 12).

As founding developer of competency modeling in the United States, Boyatzis grounded competency interventions on documented behavioral indicators that caused or influenced effective job performance. Boyatzis, like Flanagan, stressed the importance of systematic analysis in collecting and analyzing examples of the actual performance of individuals doing the work. The method for documenting the actual performance was collected through the behavioral event interview (BEI), an intensive face-to-face interview that involves soliciting critical incidents from performers and documenting what the performers thinking and doing during the incidents (BEI technique will be explained further in Appendix section).

CHAPTER 4

OBJECTIVE AND RATIONALE OF THE PROJECT

RATIONALE OF THE PROJECT

Competency mapping has been done by many organizations. The process becomes challenging in the absence of job descriptions .As MMTC doesn’t have job descriptionsso the major emphasis was to frame the job descriptions and then map competencies accordingly. Hence following objectives were taken-

OBJECTIVE:

1.) Understand the concept of competency mapping in today’s business environment and its relevance at MMTC2.) To develop job descriptions for the various functions (designation wise) to gain deeper understanding of the requirements at different position.3.) Establish proficiency levels required for each competency identified for a particular position.

22

4.) Develop a competency dictionary.5.) To develop a competency model as applicable for the various managerial positions at MMTC.

CHAPTER 5

COMPETENCY MAPPING AT MMTC LIMITED 5.1 CONCEPT OF COMPETENCY IN MMTC

Competency is a very new concept in MMTC .There was no job descriptions and specifications in the company. So this project acts as a foundation for the company in its venture into competency based practices.

5.2JOB DESCRIPTIONS AND JOB SPECIFICATIONS

What is a job?A job is a collection of tasks and responsibilities that an employee is responsible to conduct.

What is a job description?Job descriptions are lists of the general tasks, or functions, and responsibilities of a position. Typically, they also include to whom the position reports, specifications such as

23

the qualifications needed by the person in the job, salary range for the position, etc. Job descriptions are usually developed by conducting a job analysis.

Components of job description: Job Job title Job summary Duties and responsonsibility Working hours Work orientation Job specifications

Why job descriptions?Job descriptions are used especially for advertising to fill an open position, determining compensation and as a basis for performance reviews.

How to frame job descriptions?Job descriptions are framed by conducting job analysis.

Job analysis: Job Analysis is a process to identify and determine in detail the particular job duties and requirements and the relative importance of these duties for a given job. Job Analysis is a process where judgments are made about data collected on a job.

The Job; not the person An important concept of Job Analysis is that the analysis is conducted of the Job, not the person. While Job Analysis data may be collected from incumbents through interviews or questionnaires, the product of the analysis is a description or specifications of the job, not a description of the person.

Purpose of Job Analysis

The purpose of Job Analysis is to establish and document the 'job relatedness' of employment procedures such as training, selection, compensation, and performance appraisal.

Determining training needs

Job Analysis can be used in training/"needs assessment" to identify or develop:

training content assessment tests to measure effectiveness of training equipment to be used in delivering the training. methods of training (i.e., small group, computer-based, video, classroom...)

Compensation Job Analysis can be used in compensation to identify or determine:

24

http://www.hr-guide.com/compensation.htm

skill levels compensable job factors work environment (e.g., hazards; attention; physical effort) responsibilities (e.g., fiscal; supervisory) required level of education (indirectly related to salary level)

Selection’Job Analysis can be used in selection procedures to identify or develop:

job duties that should be included in advertisements of vacant positions; appropriate salary level for the position to help determine what salary should be

offered to a candidate; minimum requirements (education and/or experience) for screening applicants; interview questions; selection tests/instruments (e.g., written tests; oral tests; job simulations); applicant appraisal/evaluation forms; orientation materials for applicants/new hires

Performance reviewJob Analysis can be used in performance review to identify or develop:

goals and objectives performance standards evaluation criteria length of probationary periods duties to be evaluated

A typical method of Job Analysis would be to give the incumbent a simple questionnaire to identify job duties, responsibilities, equipment used, work relationships, and work environment. The completed questionnaire would then be used to assist the Job Analyst who would then conduct an interview of the incumbent(s). A draft of the identified job duties, responsibilities, equipment, relationships, and work environment would be reviewed with the supervisor for accuracy. The Job Analyst would then prepare a job description and/or job specifications.

The method that you may use in Job Analysis will depend on practical concerns such as type of job, number of jobs, number of incumbents, and location of jobs.

What Aspects of a Job Are Analyzed?

Job Analysis should collect information on the following areas: Duties and Tasks The basic unit of a job is the performance of specific tasks and

duties. Information to be collected about these items may include: frequency, duration, effort, skill, complexity, equipment, standards, etc.

Environment This may have a significant impact on the physical requirements to be able to perform a job. The work environment may include unpleasant

25

conditions such as offensive odors and temperature extremes. There may also be definite risks to the incumbent such as noxious fumes, radioactive substances, hostile and aggressive people, and dangerous explosives.

Tools and Equipment Some duties and tasks are performed using specific equipment and tools. Equipment may include protective clothing. These items need to be specified in a Job Analysis.

Relationships Supervision given and received. Relationships with internal or external people.

Requirements The knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSA' s) required to perform the job. While an incumbent may have higher KSA' s than those required for the job, a Job Analysis typically only states the minimum requirements to perform the job.

5.3 JOB ANALYSIS AT MMTC:

Purpose

The purpose of job analysis at MMTC was to frame job descriptions for the following positions of four departments namely—HR, Estate ,Personnel and Administration..

DGM Senior Manager

Manager

Deputy manager

Steps

1.) Interview with the employees

2.) A pilot study at the DGM level

3.) Framing of job evaluation form

4.) Conducting the study

5.) Framing of job descriptions

1.) Interview:

A face to face interview of the DGM ’s of the HUMAN RESOURCE, ADMINISTRATION ,ESTATE AND PERSONNEL department was taken to gain an insight into the working of the departments and to also know about the responsibility and duties of the DGM’ s.

26

2.) Pilot study:

On the basis of the interview a job description evaluation form was prepared .The form was filled by the DGM’s. The feedback on the form was not able to give the relevant information. It had a number of shortcomings and more over the lengthy nature of the form made it monotonous. It failed to give the desired response.

3.) Framing of job evaluation form:

So a modified form was prepared which was easy and simple in nature

4.) Conducting the final study:

Then the study was conducted for the following job positions at human resource, administration, personnel and estate:-Deputy General Manager, Senior Manager, Manager and Deputy Manager

5.4 STEPS FOR CONDUCTING COMPETENCY MAPPING AT MMTC Limited

The Steps involved in competency mapping with an end result of job evaluation include the following:

Step 1 : Identify departments for competency profiling:

Here we have to decide and select the departments within the organization which we would like to include into our study. It is to be noted that departments should be chosen based on their criticality and importance to the organization .At MMTC LIMITED there are number departments. For this project four departments have been considered namely being human resource department, personnel department, administration department and estate department.

Step 2: Identifying hierarchy within the organization and selection of levels:

Study the organization hierarchy across each of the selected departments. For MMTC LIMITED hierarchy. For the purpose of the study here we have selected Junior Management (Deputy Manager and Manager) and Middle Management (Sr. Manager and Deputy General Manager.)

Step 3: Obtain the job descriptions:

For the two levels at every department we obtained each role’s job description and in cases where they were not available we conducted a detailed interview to derive a job description.

27

Step 4: Preparation of semi structured interview:

As one of the tools for collecting information we prepared a list of questions that would make up a semi structured interview. These questions were put forth employees at the two levels.

Step 5: Recording of interview details:The candidate’s answers and opinions were recorded in as much detail as possible for further reference during the project.

Step 6: Preparation of a list of Skills:As per the interview and the details that were generated from the candidate, were used to generate a list of skills observed for the job. Thereon a list of identified competencies was drawn for each interviewed candidate.

Step 7: Indicate proficiency levels:Taking one competency level at a time different proficiency levels were indicated. For the project five levels of proficiency were defined for every competency. Each proficiency level was defined in term of behavioral indicators.

Step 8: Validate identified competencies and proficiency levels with immediate superiors and other heads of the concerned department:Competency definitions were confirmed with respective Head Of Department’s and the required proficiency levels of each competency that is ideal for each role was obtained from them. Missing competencies were located

Step9: Preparation of competency dictionary:A competency dictionary defining competencies and corresponding proficiency levels for each level across all departments was prepared.

Step 10: Mapping of competencies:Mapping of competencies of selected employees against the competency dictionary as per their employee level and department was done. Here an employee’s actual proficiency level of a particular competency was mapped against the target proficiency level.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION

In the present chapter investigator would like to give a summary and conclusions of the obtained results

. After a thorough study of the topic following objectives were framed:

1.) To develop job descriptions for the various functions (designation wise)

2.) To identify the KPA’S (Key Performance Areas) of the desired levels In four departments

3.) Develop a competency dictionary

4.) Establish proficiency levels required for each competency identified for a particular position.

5.) To develop a competency model as applicable for the various managerial positions at MMTC6.) To prepare the employees for succession plan by improving their KPA’s through proper training.

For framing job descriptions and specifications data was obtained from employees with the help of carefully structured forms. After obtaining the data from the sample of employees, the data was carefully analyzed and job descriptions and specifications were framed.

After framing the job description and specification a competency framework was developed for each job position under study .There were 10 competencies for each job position. Out of these 10 competencies 5 were the general competencies that was common to all the four departments (Human Resource Development, Estate, Personnel and Administration) and 5 were the functional competencies which was department specific. A five point scale was developed to rate the competencies and determine the levels.

It was found that training is required in all the four departments at every level. The details about the people who require training is given in the following chart.

Recommended Direction For Future Research In Competency Mapping

It would be useful to direct future research on the following lines:

Attempt to overcome the limitations based on a Job-Organization-Environment in the context of time approach to mapping future ready competencies. This method is called JOE (T) method. The method seeks to

To take a comprehensive view the role of job characteristics, organizational finger prints and impact of environment on the organization.

Consider elements of future roles of the organization.

Objectively assigning priorities (or weights) to various impacting behaviors of a competency based organization finger print.

Balancing weights to be given to current and future focused competencies in different environmental contexts.
